Legendary Doom & Quake Creators Romero And Carmack Teaming Up For New Shooter; Teasing Announcement On April 25

The legendary founders of ID Software, John Romero and Adrian Carmack, seem to be teaming up for a new 1st person shooter.

Overnight, Romero published a new video on his Youtube channel, called ‘the return’. The video is a parody on the recently released Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and starts with the iconic Star Wars music in the background. It then follows Carmack up a hill towards a cloaked , long-haired, figure. What follows next is simply epic, and you’ll have to check it out for yourself.

The ending credits tease an announcement on April 25th, while also mentioning the following website : www.nightworkgames.com.

Upon signing up, the website mentions that the first newsletter will be released on Friday, implying that it will release tomorrow.
